Jim Molan to restore voters' trust in the Senate

Senator-elect Jim Molan has revealed how he plans to restore voters’ trust following a tumultuous year in Australian politics.

The former army general has been cleared to replace Fiona Nash in the Senate after the High Court declared he was duly elected.

Justice Stephen Gageler yesterday said there should be no “lingering uncertainty” about the matter after Ms Nash, a former Nationals senator, was disqualified during the dual citizenship saga that has plagued Parliament.

“I think there are two things that are either going to happen in future,” Mr Molan told The TODAY Show this morning.

“We are going to start obeying what is laid down in the Constitution or we are going to change the Constitution.

“As we know, the probability of that is very small.”

The senator-elect, a Liberal candidate who will represent New South Wales, said the dual citizenship debacle has “taught us to look very, very seriously at what the Constitution says”.
